The Open Source Definition

Introduction

Open source doesn't just mean access to the source code. The
distribution terms of open-source software must comply with the
following criteria:

1. Free Redistribution

The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving
away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution
containing programs from several different sources. The license
shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale.

2. Source Code

The program must include source code, and must allow distribution
in source code as well as compiled form. Where some form of a product
is not distributed with source code, there must be a well-publicized
means of obtaining the source code for no more than a reasonable
reproduction cost preferably, downloading via the Internet without
charge. The source code must be the preferred form in which a programmer
would modify the program. Deliberately obfuscated source code is
not allowed. Intermediate forms such as the output of a preprocessor
or translator are not allowed.

3. Derived Works

The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must
allow them to be distributed under the same terms as the license
of the original software.

4. Integrity of The Author's Source Code

The license may restrict source-code from being distributed in modified
form only if the license allows the distribution of "patch
files" with the source code for the purpose of modifying the
program at build time. The license must explicitly permit distribution
of software built from modified source code. The license may require
derived works to carry a different name or version number from the
original software.

5. No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

The license must not discriminate against any person or group of
persons.

6. No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor

The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program
in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict
the program from being used in a business, or from being used for
genetic research.

7. Distribution of License

The rights attached to the program must apply to all to whom the
program is redistributed without the need for execution of an additional
license by those parties.

8. License Must Not Be Specific to a Product

The rights attached to the program must not depend on the program's
being part of a particular software distribution. If the program
is extracted from that distribution and used or distributed within
the terms of the program's license, all parties to whom the
program is redistributed should have the same rights as those that
are granted in conjunction with the original software distribution.

9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software

The license must not place restrictions on other software that is
distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license
must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same
medium must be open-source software.

10. License Must Be Technology-Neutral

No provision of the license may be predicated on any individual
technology or style of interface.
